G. CHADWICK STRIP FOR DOUBLE DRY TRANSFER Filed April 10, 1934 INVENTQR Geoye dim Malt r ATTORNEY Patented Jan. 22, 1 935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

5 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a strip for double dry transferring.

It is customary to manufacture strips of material such as paper, etc., which is printed or in 5 any other manner formed with transfer areas,

so that the transfer areas are adapted to be transferred to merchandise. Such strips of material are generally used to transfer trademarks upon various types of merchandise such as hose and other types of wearing apparel, furs, skins, leathers, etc. The invention has for an object the construction of a strip of dry heat transfer material which is characterized by repeated groups of transfer areas each group comprising a trade-mark transfer area and a blocking transfer area. An arrangement of this type is of extreme value in that then a heated stamp may be engaged against one group of transfer areas to transfer the trade mark and to transfer stamping through the blocking area upon the merchandise. Thus the trade mark and a lot number may be transferred.

It should be understood that the main feature of this invention is the fact that the trade mark may be transferred as a whole by stamping while numbers may be varied or any other symbols may be embossed through the blocking area and thus transferred in conjunction with the transferring of the trade mark.

Still further the invention proposes an arrangement whereby the distances between the blocking areas and the trade mark transfer areas of each group upon the strip of material may be varied within certain limits.

Still further the invention contemplates the construction of various folds of the strip material arranged in a peculiar manner so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distances between the blocking areas and trade mark transfer areas.

Still further the invention proposes the construction of an article as mentioned which is simple and durable and which may be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

Forfurther comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is an elevational viewof a strip of dry heat transfer material constructed according to this invention.

Fi 2 is a fragmentary sectional view taken .on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a heat stamp by which the transfer from the strip of material is effected.

Fig. 4 is an elevational view of a piece of cloth shown with the transferred data.

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but illustrating another embodiment of the invention.

Fig. 6 is a, fragmentary sectitonal'vew taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is a fragmentary elevational view similar to Fig. 5 but showing a still further modification.

Fig. 8 is a similar view to,Fig. 1, showing another form of the invention.

The strip fordouble dry transfer according to this invention comprises a strip of dry heat transfer material consisting of a strip of paper 10 having repeating groups of transfer areas each group comprising a trade-mark transferarea 11 and a blocking transfer area 12. The details of chemicals used in constructing these transfer areas will not be given here since they form no part of the invention, and such transfer areas are generally known in commerce at the present time. A feature of the invention is the arrangement of the blocking area 12 and the trade-mark transfer area associated close together in a group in a manner so that in addition to the transfer of a trade-mark, a lot number or any other mark may be stamped through the blocking area together with the transfer of the trade-mark. For example, in Fig. 4 a transfer upon a piece of material is shown .wherein a lot number has been transferred through the blocking area 12.

The transferring from the strip of material is accomplished with a stamp such as illustrated in Fig. 3. This stamp comprises a body 13 having a handle 14 by which it may be conveniently manipulated. A cable is provided at the end with a conventional electrical plug 15 and extends to the handle 14 and is connected with a heating mechanism within the body 13, not illustrated on the drawing since it forms no part of the invention. The front face of the body 13 is formed with a fiat area 16 adapted to engage against the trade-mark transfer area 11 for the purpose of transferring the trade-mark transfer area in its entirety. Immediately adJacent the flat area 16 the body 13 is formed with replaceable blocks 1'1 held in place with suitable clamping screws 18 extended inwards from the sides of the body. These replaceable blocks 1'! carry the members or their symbols which are to be stamped through the blocking area 12.

The trade-mark 11 is shown of circular construction upon the drawing or any other design may be used. The fiat surface is of the transferring stamp is of rectangular shape and is of a size materially larger than the size of the trademark 11 so that the entire trade-mark may be transferred. The blocking area 12 is shown constructed with a plurality of fine lines 12' close together so that when lot numbers or other symbols are stamped through the blocking area the transfer portion will have the design of the blocking area. Of course, this is merely a refinement since the blocking area 12' may be of a solid construction. I

'In Fig. 5 a modification of theinvention has been disclosed in which an arrangement has been provided for varying the distances between the trade-mark transfer areas and the blocking areas of each of the groups upon the strip of material. More particularly the strip of material 10 is formed with transverse folds 20 in each of the groups of transfer areas and located between the trade-mark transfer area 11 and the blocking area 12. The folds 20 are held closed with drops of paste 21 in a manner so that they may be easily torn open. Thus with the folds 20 in closed positions the trade-mark transfer areas 11 and the corresponding blocking areas 12 are fixed at a certain distance, but with the folds 20 open this distance is enclosed. The feature of this arrangement is that a choice is possible as to the distance between the lot numbers and the trade-marks.

In Fig. 7 another embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in which several folds 20 and 22 are arranged between each of the trade-mark tranfer areas 11 and the blocking areas 12. The folds 20 are held closed with drops of paste 21 while the folds 22 are held closed merely by the stiffness of the material of the strip 10. With this arrangement the distance between the trademark transfer area.v and the blocking areas may be easily changed by opening and closing the folds 22, and if desired the folds 20 may also be opened for further variation. 'It is a feature that certain of the folds, that is the folds 20 are normally held closed, while other of 'the folds, the folds 22 may be open and closed as desired.

In Fig. 8 another arrangement of the invention has been disclosed in which the blocking transfer area 12 has been shown at one side of the trademark transfer area 11 in the vicinity of the iongitudinal edge of the strip material 10.

It is to be understood that the trade-mark transfer area may be of any shape and size and that it may consist of any type of trade-mark, symbol or recognition mark,

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:-

1. A strip of double dry transfer material comprising a strip of dry heat transfer material having repeating groups of transfer areas, each group comprising a trade-mark transfer area and a blocking transfer area, whereby a heated stamp may be engaged against one group of transfer areas of said strip transfer, the trade-mark and transfer a stamp through the blocking area.

2. A strip of double dry transfer material, comprising a strip of dry heat transfer material having repeating groups of transfer areas, each group comprising a trade-mark transfer area and a blocking transfer area, whereby a heated stamp may be engaged against one group of transfer areas of said strip transfer, the trade-mark and transfer a stamp through the blocking area, said blocking .area comprising a plurality of lines closely arranged together.

3. A strip of double dry transfer material, comprising a strip of dry heat transfer material having repeating groups of transfer areas, each group comprising a trade-mark transfer area and a blocking area, and folded sections upon said strip of material between the trade-mark transfer areas and the blocking areas.
